Require employers to pay unused annual leave or carry it over to the next year
Every year 1000s of workers do not claim their full annual leave entitlement for many reasons. It should be law for employers to pay all unused holiday at the end of each year or carry it over. Employers budget for it and should not benefit from those who are happy to work rather than have time off.

Require all employers to include parental leave policies in job listings
Require all employers to include parental leave policies clearly in job listings. Some studies show only a small percentage currently do so. Making it a legal requirement could help ensure fair access to information. We believe without it, discrimination, unfair withdrawal of offers could result.
